By the editors · 2 min readSandalwood and patchouli form a dry, woody-earthy core from the start, lacking a distinct top note evolution. Moss contributes a damp, green undertone that blends with the patchouli's earthiness. Amber provides a mild resinous warmth, while musk adds a clean skin-scent quality in the base. The scent remains linear and close-wearing throughout its duration, with minimal projection beyond arm's length. Longevity extends to seven hours, making it suitable for cool weather indoor occasions. Its simplicity favors those seeking an understated, grounded aroma.
